It began with two England front-­rowers clashing in the tunnel, endured a shocking injury that left both sides visibly shaken and there were times the home faithful turned on one of their former players – this was a feisty London derby that went the way of Harlequins, who basked in the glory of finally beating Saracens at the ninth time of trying. Admittedly, the “clash” between Joe Marler and Jamie George was entirely in jest and you would have to go some to find a more polite chorus of boos than that from the Harlequins supporters but this was a keenly fought derby that had the ultras of suburbia off their feet and roaring with delight at the final whistle. For there is no little animosity between these sides and a first win for Harlequins over Saracens since ­January 2020 felt long overdue for the home crowd. That it was thoroughly deserved, on the back of tries from Fin Baxter and ­Lennox Anyanwu and owing every­thing to their defensive defiance, will make it all the more sweet. It was a feather in the cap for Harlequins’ defence coach, Jason Gilmore, with Jack Kenningham and Dino Lamb excelling and some way to round off the Premiership’s derby weekend.
